Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies widely: taller people often want more distance from the wheel, while others sit closer for a clear view over the bonnet. Cabin temperature divides passengers too, which is why settling on one takes negotiation.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent in a stationary car locating lights, hazard switch and mirror adjustment is time not spent searching mid-journey. Departure day is also a sensible moment to check tyre pressures and that everything responds as expected.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone used for navigation drains quickly, so a way to keep it charged matters more on long days than short ones. Where hands-free calling is available, it lets a call be answered without stopping.
